They made these companies possible by their hard work yet since the company was poorly managed due to their resistence to make competitive cars and high costs .

Yes the foreign manufacturures have a younger work force but they have not been in america as long so they had an edge . However GM has not bent to change well .

I feel this is the end of unions for many reasons . Gm outsourced many of the models for import so they made no attempt to keep the work froce here in the USA .

I recall it cost ford about $7,000 out the factory door factoring labor and materials to build the explorer and these sold for $20,000 . So where did the profit go there ?
